Abstract

Provided are a boosting unit, a DC-DC converter including the boosting unit, and an electric vehicle. The DC-DC converter includes: a switch connected to an input voltage; a main diode connected to the switch; a regulating capacitor, a first terminal of the regulating capacitor being connected in series with the main diode, a second terminal of the regulating capacitor being connected to the input voltage, and the first terminal and the second terminal of the regulating capacitor serving as output terminals of the DC-DC converter; and a boosting unit, the boosting unit comprising a first inductor, a second inductor, a boosting capacitor, a first unidirectional conducting device, a second unidirectional conducting device, a third unidirectional conducting device and a fourth unidirectional conducting device. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, voltage gain can be increased by replacing inductors in the ordinary DC-DC converter with the boosting unit.
